The Car-Heating Problem

There is bill before the state legis
lature that ought not to be lost sight
of. 1t has been before the railroad
committee. reported favorably, and re-
turned to the house where it has been
read once or more This bill compels
the railroad companies in this state to
adopt some other means of heating pass
senger coaches than the deadly stoves
which are in general use. The fact is
the travelling public has the right to De
protected in its life against appliances
which are by no means necessary but
which are used for car heating
purposes simply because they are in
expensive and cheaply managed From
the time of the Ashtabula disaster in
Ohio in December. 1876, to that near
Woodstock. VT, in February last, it is
probably within bounds to say that 300
people have been roasted to death in de
rallied cars set on fire by the stoves with
which they were heated. Notwitbstand-
ing this frightful loss of life the railroad
companies, in defiance of public senti-
ment, continue the use of stoves and
will use them unless the law making
power of the country steps in to protect
the public by compelling the adoption of
some other device. A man who must
make journey cannot he hindered be-
cause the heating arrangement of cars is
not to his liking, he takes the chances,
trusting to luck or Providence for his
safe return. There are accidents enough
on railroads that are unavoidable with
out retaining stoves. In the five years
between 1874 and 1879 there were
4,S49 accidents on passenger trains.
which resulted in 1850 deaths and
4,540 cases of injury, heing an average
of 800 accidents. 232 deaths, and $50 in
iuries year That period was not ex.
ceptional Common humanity and de~
cent respect for the lives of the travelling
public demand that one of the most pro
life sources OF these accidents be placed
under ban of the law. This state has
been fortunately exempt from this species
of accidents, although the Sag bridge
horror in August, 1878, resulted in the
boiling of number of passengers by es>
Gaping steam. The fact that the season
of the year is at hand when stoves are
not needed should not hide from the state
legislators the fact that it will be two
years before that body meets again, and
the passage of the law is urgent.

eide whether the constitution shall be
amended so as to forbid the manufacture

people al the north. the northern idea
of Texas has too often been that of a

prise to the average reader To find that
so many leading members OF the doml>

of the amendment that its opponents are

adoption The current northern idea
